The nominations for the Grammys 2023 have been announced, with Harry Styles, Adele, Kendrick Lamar, DJ Khaled and Beyonce all battling out for the trophies.

The ceremony is taking place in LA on February 5, with Machine Gun Kelly, Olivia Rodrigo, John Legend and Smokey Robinson on hand to announce the nominees earlier today – days before the Latin Grammys kick off.

Queen Bey is leading the way, with a whopping nine nominations, thanks to her incredible return.

She has been tipped for both record of the year and song of the year for Break My Soul, as well as the coveted album of the year for Renaissance.

Not only could the Crazy In Love singer sweep the board, but this also means that she is tied as the most-nominated act of all time – with husband Jay-Z.

Power couple indeed.

Of course, she has some competition in those categories from Kendrick, who is just behind her with an incredible eight nominations.

He has also been mentioned in the running for best rap performance and best rap song for The Heart Part 5.

It was also a great day for Adele, with her eagerly-anticipated return to the charts netting her seven nominations, including record of the year and best pop vocal album.

Harry is also in the running with six nods, alongside Future and DJ Khaled.

There have been some changes this year including five new categories – songwriter of the year, alternative music performance, best spoken word poetry album, score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media, and Americana music performance

However, one act that wasn’t in the mix was Silk Sonic, after Bruno Mars announced that he and Anderson .Paak had decided against submitting their album, An Evening With Silk Sonic, forward for consideration.

Despite sweeping the board at the Grammys in April, he confirmed that we would not get a repeat at the next bash.

‘We truly put our all on this record, but Silk Sonic would like to gracefully, humbly and most importantly, sexually, bow out of submitting our album this year,’ he said in a message via Rolling Stone.

‘We hope we can celebrate with everyone on a great year of music and partake in the party. Thank you for letting Silk Sonic thrive.

‘Andy and I, and everyone that worked on this project, won the moment the world responded to Leave The Door Open. Everything else was just icing on the cake.

‘We thank the Grammys for allowing us to perform on their platform – not once but twice – and awarding us at last year’s ceremony. We’d be crazy to ask for anything more.’

Bruno didn’t shed light on what led to their decision, but Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr accepted the stance.

He added in a separate statement: ‘We appreciate their decision not to submit this year but look forward to celebrating an amazing year in music together.’
